    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT

    Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    TheAndyMacT

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue:

    No Icons for SFX-Archives
    MerowingerM

    Hello!

    I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
    I use the new version 22.00.11.

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D

    Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .

    The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
    I know it has non standard quotes in it.

    However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.

    Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.

    Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.

    When will a fix be implemented?

    Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB

    I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
    PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
    I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.

    This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.

    PA 2023 Toolbox - 22.00.09 - Remove archive encryption
    PA_FanP

    Win 11 64 bit

    I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).

    However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.

    What can I do to sort this out?

    However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !

      Hi,

      For some reason PAOP does not compress the files even though I explicitly tell it to do so.

      My setup:

      Windows XP SP2
      Office 2007
      PA 10.2.0.11
      PAOP 2.00.08

      What could be the problem?

      Thank you.

              Yes, and it wasn’t there. I even went so far as to clear the exclusion list completely.

                  I’ve had the same problem with numerous files. Perhaps having white-spaces in the name might be causing problems?

                  I’ve also uninstalled and re-installed PAOP countless times.

                      Thank you,

                      I’ve tried all manner of file names, extensions and settings, but I still can’t get PAOP to work.

                      I think I’ll just uninstall it.

                          Yes, the compression window does open, but almost immediately closes again.

                            so it closes without you pressing anything?

                                Before I send you on a wild goose chase, let me rephrase that.

                                When the setting is ticked for POAP to ask if it should zip the attachments, the compression window opens up, and stays there until a selection is made. But even if one chooses to zip the attachments, it almost immediately closes without doing anything.

                                When it is set to zip attachments automatically, one can see the compression window open and close almost immediately.

                                I honestly don’t know how one would troubleshoot this problem, since it seems to have worked perfectly well in all your tests.

                                  Do you at any point of time see PA window (not PAOP but PA)?

                                  If not, please let me know what is the path to PA and PAOP instalation, it seems as if PAOP isnt calling PA for whatever reason.

                                  Also, what other plugins for office do you have installed?

                                  thanks!

                                    I have the same issue with Outlook 2003. I even have the plug-in to prompt me on every email if I would like to compress the attachment(s). I answer yes and it appears something is happening, but the message is sent without the attachment now as a zip file.

                                    I do have other Outlook plug-ins installed such as Mapilabs duplicates remover. I am also using Spysweeper with Antivirus v5.5.7. Not sure if these could be causing an issue.

                                    Is there a way to activate a debugging feature to possibly see where the problem is happening? I have reinstalled the plugin, and verified the outlook plugin options multiple times.

                                        -The video is about 9megs in size. You’ll see exactly what I am seeing.

                                                Have the same problem here.

                                                New windows instalation with:

                                                PA 10.20.17

                                                I have been having this problem for a while and I have formatted my machine a installed the latest versions of PAOP and PA in order to see if the problem would be solved, but it didn´t. The PAOP 1.10 worked fine on my machine. Do you know if there is anyplace I can download the old version?

                                                Thanks.

                                                    Found the 1.10 version in PA´s download site.

                                                    Uninstalled the 2.0 version, installed 1.10 and it works fine.

                                                    I´ll be waiting for a new version.

                                                      Here is what we need to know:
                                                      1. location of your temp folder
                                                      2. Send us paarcce.dat from your temp folder.

                                                      You can send it to support conexware.com.

                                                      thank you!

                                                        Important - the parcce.dat must be the one that is created after reproducing the bug (creating new email message, adding attachment, clicking on “Compress” in PAOP dialog that shows upon “Send” action, and after loading/closing PA).

                                                          two things to ask what version of outlook are you using and what windows are you using. the second thing is to ask have you installed any other outlook plugin or have you reinstalled outlook after installing this plugin. i would suggest uniunstalling pa and outlook and pa and then install outllok then pa then this plugin and tell us what problems you encounter after that.
